El terror de l'Oddball / Oddball's nightmare
Si coneixeu (i devocioneu com jo) "Els herois de Kelly" (Kelly's Heroes), sabreu què es el que més tem l'Oddball, tot i que literalment acaba conquerint les seves pors.

Aquest és l'unic tanc Tiger en funcionament del món. Es troba al Bovington Tank Museum. I de fet només en queden uns 7 o 8, al món, i quasi cap en aquest estat. Fou capturat pràcticament intacte a Tunissia pels anglesos el 1943, i restaurat a fons fa uns 15 anys. Ara fa poc va protagonitzar la seva primera peli, 'Fury', la primera on realment el Tiger que hi apareix és real: aquest mateix!
Sobre el film en questió he de dir que les 3/4 parts inicials sont molt bones, i algunes de les escenes son de les millors sobre combats de tancs de la historia del cinema. Aquí destaca el combat entre tres Sherman americans i un sol Tiger aleman (aquest) que és una meravella cinematogràfica.
Però tornant sobre la peli, cal dir que tota la escena final és una aberració irreal i que destroça el bon fer de la cinta fins aquell moment. No entenc com el director va permetre tal patetic final.

If you love the awesome Kelly's Heroes movie, you'll already know what's the thing Oddball fears the most. A Tiger tank. And he confronts three of them. But in the end, he literaly conquers (in fact buys) his fears ;-)

This is the famous Panzer VI Tiger of the Bovington Tank Museum; a.k.a the Bovington Tiger or the Tiger 131 (for it's German tactical numeral). There are only about 6-7 surviving Tigers in the world, and this is the only one in running condition. It was captured by the british in Tunissia in 1943, and restored 15 years ago. Now it even appears in a war movie, 'Fury' (3014), with Brad Pitt. It's the only Tiger in a war movie that's really a Tiger (althoug I've to say that the ones in Saving Private Ryan and Kelly's Heroes are damn good done replicas)..
I've to say about 'Fury' (the film), that it's first 3/4 of movie it's a gorgeous war movie, one of the most realistic and vicious I've ever seen. Pure cinema, specially the awesome showdown between 3 Shermans and a lonely Tiger.
Then, again about the movie I can't end without saying how pathetic is (by contrast) the final combat. So unreal and one-sided that blows away the suspension of disbelief built till that moment. Just to say that such a well armed & veteran German column (if still existed in april 45) would have blown out a suspect Sherman with a couple of Panzerfausts the moment they have seen it (just like the Germans would have destroyed the bell tower in "Ramelle" along with any sniper, now that I talk about this).
